Abelard og Héloïse

Abelard og Héloïse
Klassisk romantisk par, fra en selvbiografisk brevroman udgivet af Peter Abelard.
Abelard var en ung teolog og filosof, der fik til opgave at undervise Héloïse, men forelskede sig i hende. De giftede sig i hemmelighed, men han tvinges i munkekloster, og de måtte udtrykke deres kærlighed gennem breve.
Historien kendes fra Abelards selvbiografi, der indeholdt mange af brevene de sendte til hinanden. I senere populariseringer fremstilles Héloïses onkel og værge, Fulbert, som en hidsigprop der vil forhindre deres ægteskab og kastrerer Abelard før han tvinges i kloster.
Mere sansynligt er dog at Abelard og Héloïse selv var imod den fysiske side af ægteskabet, og foretrak den platoniske adskillelse af filosofiske grunde.
Det ældste eksisterende manuskript er fra 1350, og siden deres møde fandt sted cirka 1118 kan det ikke udelukkes at det hele er fiktion.
